At last, Summer Glau can brandish a sword and chain mail skirt the way the geek gods and a select group of filmmakers intended.

The San Antonio native will finally grace domestic theaters in “Knights of Badassdom,”the long-delayed horror comedy that throws LARPers (live-action role-players) against a real blood-gulping succubus not played by Glau. eOne Films US snagged North Americana distribution rights to the film, which also stars “Game of Thrones’” Peter Dinklage, “True Blood’s” Ryan Kwanten and Steve Zahn.

Variety reports the film will be distributed in the United States day and date in theaters and via video on demand. Glau plays one of the fellow LARPers who teams up with Kwanten and his buddies, eager to take down the sultry she-demon Zahn accidentally conjures on the faux-field of battle. You know, badass stuff.

It’s been a good month for the “Firefly” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” star. Glau will also return to TV in “Arrow,” The CW’s buzz-worthy take on the comic book archer the Green Arrow. Glau will play the villainous Isabel Rochev, inspired from the comics.
